Now you can hire an e-bike with Sustainable Kirriemuir
In Scotland, more than 40% of journeys are less than 2 miles, but most of us would admit to taking the car for short journeys when for some of these we probably could have walked or cycled. As transport is the largest source of greenhouse gas emissions in Scotland as well as a major contributor to poor air quality, there are incredible environmental gains, as well as health benefits, from switching shorter car journeys to more active means such as walking and cycling. And it’s cheaper too! But, Sustainable Kirrie staff and volunteers have certainly noticed that Kirrie is a tad on the hilly side, so we thought having some community e-bikes may help us shift how we travel in and around Kirrie.
Thanks to funding from Energy Saving Trust and The National Lottery, Sustainable Kirriemuir has a mini fleet of e-bikes. The bikes are for members of the community who are considering buying their own e-bike to try out.
In the fleet, there are 3 e-bikes and 1 cargo e-bike for hire.
These are:
The bikes come with a lock, helmet, lights, pannier and a hi-vis vest.
Are you thinking it’s time to cycle?
Here’s what you need to know…
How long can I borrow the e-bike for?
Members of the community can borrow the bikes for 4 weeks.
How do I book an e-bike?
The first step is to complete an expression of interest form, then one of our team will be in touch to discuss availability and complete the booking. Alternatively, pop in and visit us at our new home – 2 St Malcolm’s Wynd, DD8 4GW during opening hours (coming soon!).
How much do e-bikes cost to borrow?
There is no cost to borrow the e-bikes, but donations are welcome and will help with the maintenance, servicing and secure storage of the bikes.
